A mesmerizing time-lapse of the Sun in ultraviolet light, captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft over the course of a month.

STS-49, the first flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour, lifted off #OTD in 1992. The mission was the first U.S. orbital flight to feature four spacewalks, and the first flight to involve three crew members working simultaneously outside the spacecraft! go.nasa.gov/4a7H8Gw

Best of luck to my friends and NASA astronaut colleagues Sunita Williams and Barry 'Butch' Wilmore on their scheduled launch to the ISS tonight on the first flight of the new Starliner spacecraft!

The moons Io and Europa passing by Jupiter, as seen by Cassini Spacecraft💐💐

UPDATE: Boeing calls off its planned launch of the Starliner spacecraft less than two hours before liftoff. cbsn.ws/3y93eej

Sometimes you need a two-dimensional Jeremy R. Hansen inside your Orion spacecraft to ensure things will fit ok in microgravity.

Jupiter's moon Io against the background of the gas giant's atmosphere. The photo was taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1979.

Ghanaian Aerospace Engineer, Ave Kludze Jr is the first African to fly a NASA spacecraft in orbit from a mission control center.

He is a Senior Scapecraft System Engineer at US space agency, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration).

Could we use photons to perfect 'solar sailing'? The technique involves using the impact of sunlight on a solar sail to drive a spacecraft. NASA is launching a pilot project to see whether solar sailing could be a simple way of doing local space exploration.

Yesterday Boeing planned to launch astronauts on its new spacecraft called Starliner. The test flight to the International Space Station is several years behind schedule.

Indian-American astronaut #SunitaWilliams will fly to #space again tomorrow on the first crewed mission of Boeing's #Starliner . She will make her long-awaited return to space aboard the Starliner as Boeing conducts the spacecraft's maiden human spaceflight.

This photograph shows us the other side of the Moon, which we usually do not see. It was captured by the Chinese Chang'e 5-T1 spacecraft.

That's no moon!

It's Mercury! NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, the first to orbit the innermost planet of our solar system, took this image during it's 10+ year mission—A mission that ended #OTD in 2015. MESSENGER mapped the entire planet, including water ice deposits at its poles.
